A new study shows that name brand sunglasses will give your eyes the best protection.  A Roanoke VA news website did a study of really cheap ($1.00) sunglasses and popular name brand sunglasses.

The name brands came out on top almost everytime but surprisingly,  there was a dollar pair that gave pretty good UV protection-no light was let in! For a buck! Not bad Dollar Tree and 99 Cent Store!

The Optician they interviewed promotes Polarized sunglasses as the overall best for filtering glare and absorbing most U-V-A and U-V-B light.

So the next time you forget your sunglasses and run into the discount store to buy some cheap shades-chances are they’re not going to block many damaging rays.  So buy one of their cheap hats too!
